This Is Where a Clever Title Would Go if I had Enough Energy to Think of One

Sometimes I get to the end of a day and I am too tired for clever and pretty words.

The day in list:

Everybody up

Early school drop off

Homework scramble

Kids to school

Shipping and email

Setting up Howard to work

Attend a friend’s birthday lunch

Leave early because Kiki injured herself at school

Make Dr. appt.

Arrange for someone else to do afternoon carpool.

Shipping and observing Kiki because a trip to the emergency room is still under consideration.

Go to doctor

Kiki has an acute abdominal strain. She acquired it during yoga in PE. She is now excused from PE for four weeks. We have a prescription for physical therapy, but we’re only to use it if we feel it is necessary.

Come home

Feed some Children

Solve shipping problem

Read email and learn that a beloved childhood friend is hospitalized after multiple strokes. She was a second mother to me and she’s all the way across the country where I can’t visit. I haven’t even spoken with her in years. How did I not keep in touch better?

Departed house with Gleek for choir concert

Helped set up chairs.

Was asked did I know that the kids were supposed to be wearing Sunday best? (Gleek was in a skirt, but a casual shirt.)

Drove home to get a change of clothes, kicking myself because I could have avoided the trip if I’d been paying more attention prior to departure.

Listened to an adult acapella group put in a solid performance.

Listened to an elementary school orchestra play christmas songs that were recognizable. Barely. They were cute though.

Listened to Gleek and her choir.

Came home.

Attended writer’s group because it was at my house.

Ushered kids into bed, but later than it ought to have been.
